Hello everyone! I am new to this site and I hope you guys can really help me on my Civic Lx 1992. Its been in the garage now for almost 6 months, and i was able to start it just last week with help of this site just reading all of the problems and answers.
Anyway, the car already have more than hundred thousand miles. Since i made it to start, the the problem now is the engine itself shakes or vibrate so bad even when the rpm gauges tells me that it still in range, but sometimes when I press on the accellerator and let it go, rpm goes all the way down and engine dies. I really dont have a problem of starting the car now, its just the vibration...Can somebody help on this??

 

Change your oil?, it's a start, 6 months is a long time.

 

already did. Thanks! Anything else?

Check the timing, your ignition ie plugs, wires, distributor. Check compression, one of the cylinders could not be firing. I had that problem before, that sucks.

 

Let say the problem is compression, can you give me rough estimate how much it is going to cost me on repair. Cause i want to keep this vehicle... Thanks!

 

depends what the problem is and where you take it to. odds are that it is misfiring on a cylinder or the firing order is not correct.
check you plug wires and make sure they are correct

 

Gasoline does have a shelf life. That's why they self gas stablizer for storage. Water could have build up in there too.

Could be a combination of minor problems that add up to something bad.
